Well I got a regular 3DS here and the hinge is pretty sturdy, just a very very slight wobby. You do have a 12 month warranty that covers the loose hinge issue: http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/539/p/48/session/L3RpbWUvMTM4ODYzOTEzNi9zaWQvTnQxRlFrSmw=
See if you can live with the loose hinge, if not, you should take advantage of the warranty and get it repair. They give you free shipping and it usually takes them 3-5 days to get it repair and get it back to you.

It's normal for the top screen to wobble a bit on the XL. It's much looser than on the normal-sized 3DS. If it really feels like it's going to fall off though, then yeah, you may want to exchange it or have it repaired.
Well, mine is loose too. It's an ice white 3ds, not xl and when i shake it while playing i can notice the hinge is loose. But if it was too sturdy it could cause problems like cracking the hinge parts soon since i'm opening and closing my system alot in a daily basis. For me, too sturdy = bad, a little bit loose = ok, too loose = send that to repair.
it's normal, i had 2 3ds xl, both of them after one week the hinge gets really loose, and its annoying because when i am playing pokemon dream radar the screen "jumps" back and forth...
it really bothers me when i try to see the 3d screen or using the dream radar... i must keep my hand on the top part so i dont feel the screen falling down...
but this happened on both of them...

Alright, so, SOME play is normal. But, as the TC puts it
Not sure if TC is overemphasizing the problem or...

I have an additional question about this.
Close your 3DS XL, now hold the bottom half tight and try to slide the top half up/down, left right a bit by pushing on the edges. (like sliding two dvd cases on top of each other) Does it move at all?
On mine I can move the top half a bit if I put a little pressure near the L button. Not sure if its normal or not.

One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better. -
@
Psionic Roshambo:
I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs

@

I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G. -

Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
